I am actually pretty angry that sign language isn't taught in schools. We learned the sign language alphabet when I was in 3rd grade but that's all. It was not offered in high school or in my college. Now I have a health care profession and we come across deaf people all the time and the only way we can communicate it by writing so it is stressful on them. Why isn't sign language offered in schools as a foreign language option? I know its not technically a foreign language like spanish or french but it would be more helpful to know sign language than those. There are so many deaf people in the world it would benefit so many people.
